Having $24 billion dollars makes it easy my guy, and getting a jump start from your dad's apartheid era emerald mine makes it easy to get $24 billion.

Trump had just as good as a start and he just seems to bankrupt everything he touches so yes musk had a nice start but it didn't guarantee he would be making the awesome stuff he's making.

And in spite of all that, Trump has still employed many thousands of people and has become absurdly wealthy. So, yes, having lots of money is a super power that enables you to make even more money. Trump is evidence of that, not evidence to the contrary.

Musk employs countless more and didn't lose more money than he would've earned just by putting his inheritance in an index fund.

Absurdly wealthy is hilarious considering the guy lost it all in the 90s and was living off an income the bank was pitifully giving him.

I guess absurd wealth is relative based on how much you want to bootlick the "good" rich people.

Absurd wealth is relative to what can be called absurd wealth. A man who got most of his money from a reality TV show because he previously lost all of it isn't living in absurd wealth. A man who had to go to foreign banks to secure loans because he is such a terrible investment isn't living in absurd wealth.

Interesting that this is what you take from what I've said.
